This meeting started late due to the Council meeting that
preceded it.

McHenry added this
item : Clothes Line Project- represented by Student nurses at IVY Tech.
Rape sexual assault etc. and they are doing this for the Rape Crisis Center in
Lawrenceburg, They want to display this at the Courthouse Lawn on Wed Sept 25
from 12-3. Commissioners approved this. And Lynch disclosed that he was a board
member for CMHC and still 2nded and voted.

OLD BUSINESS:

ROW - Johnny Wright issue- Mark McCormack presented the Indian
ridge area in the 1999 plat shows a 50 foot wide ROW reserved for future
roadway. There is also a 15 ft wide access for emergency vehicles. As of last
week lot 15 is still owned by one of the 2 developmentpeople. The county should have accepted this-
but didn’t and so now the county only has a 15 ft ROW for emergency access. Schipper
and Kern are developers. Currently the driveway that is there is NOT where the
emergency access is. None of the permitting depts. have received an application
for the mobile home to be moved up there yet.

Kraus, Jr. said he emailed a 2 page letter to the
commissioners. He researched but did not find a publicly dedicated roadway
through the property. He reviewed all the plats and went thru the grantees over
the years and did not find any records of a public ROW between Ridgeway and
Indian Ridge.

1894 Nov 23rd showing all the county roads of
records etc. The 1899 atlas shows that ROW as 25 ft wide going up thru Bridgeway.
Kraus Jr said he has a copy of this. He sent this in his email. Several deeds
refer to exclusive easements which means not public.

Deed from Schipper to Kern- saying subject to all easements
on the property. Clearly there were easements on the property. Oct 1988- from
Schipper- 25 ft strips along Ridge Avenue and Bridgeway. Kraus Jr. shows the
dedication along these streets and he has a copy of this also. McHenry asked
Johnny Wright to look at McCormack’s paperwork.

Aerial map by Bureau of Land Management. It shows roads that
he and neighbors in Langley Heights have used all along esp in bad weather.

Baudendistel- Exclusive easements don’t pass with land sale-
they are just for one owner. He thinks a judge and/or a jury will have to
decide if an easement exists.

Mrs Schipper- we bought a farm and an adjoining one behind
it. There was a driveway between there. It had nothing to do with an emergency
access. Ralph Thompson came up with engineer and Grieve and they didn’t want
people cutting thru there. So you keep the gate closed and locked and you put
signs at either end of it. So that is what they did. Thompson said Nope- they
are not going thru here. It’s a gravel path big enough for a farm tractor. If
the county wants to maintain it- there is a lot of maintenance to it.

Wright went to Court on these issues. Blondell and clients
wanted people to have access on these previously vacated ROWs. The gate was to
be put at bottom of hill and be maintained by county. Public ROW- NOTmaintained by county. Thompson’s tenure.
Public ROW is controlled by federal government. Baudendistel said that Cleary
ordered all parties to have Hall do the survey to establish ROWs to be
completed by Sept 2013. Problems with survey monuments. Cleary has not said
this survey is not done yet. If the survey is not done in time it reverts back
to the owners by 12 Sept 2013. They have found original stones for original
surveys.

Mr Kern- was involve din lawsuit back then- it has to do
with York Avenue and another property. He dispute was where the ROW existed,
not IF it existed with Benjamins. The Benjamins did not get the survey done to
show this. He showed Dot Schippers property and said there was no connection
with this.

Baudendistel said that there is a disagreement with Wright.
If he wants to hire a title search or surveyor to show this. Lynch moved they take NO action unless additional info comes forth in
the future. Little 2nded. Passed.

In regard to the
Economic Development Commission setup at Council’s previous meeting: McHenry
said that he takes full responsibility for info not getting to Council in a timely
manner and apologized to Dennis Kraus, Sr. about that.

NEW BUSINESS:

Signatures on Task
Force Deployment - Bill Black, Jr.- because of a new application process
required. Black serves on the task force. It allows him to be part of this.
McHenry signed the document.

Black also asked if
he could put a walk in door in the back of their building if he could find
the funds for it? He wants to avoid wearing out their garage doors.
Commissioners agreed to allow this.

Black talked about
the ALICE safety training (for shooters) for the county. It would take comp
time or shut down a building for half a day during a working day. He was
instructed by commissioners to check with dept heads on how to best do this.

Construction Advisory
Agreement - “Court House Project”- At the last meeting she was allowed to
ask Council for $25,000 and they approved the funding. The consensus was that
Maxwell would be good since they are already employed for the Jail. She asked
for an hourly rate and Not To Exceed $21,500. They are to look at all the
master planning that was done over the years and get the committee to get back
to commissioners. This will give a really accurate assessment of what we need.
“In my professional opinion” she is pleased to recommend that they enter in the
agreement with Maxwell. She wants to have it in the winter quarter to assess
what we have and then hire architect if needed for 2014. Lynch motioned to enter into a construction advisory agreement NTE
$21,500 on Courthouse Project. Little seconded. Passed. They have an end date in
Dec 2013. Commissioners signed the agreement.

A year has passed
since last surplus auction. Several old vehicles and equipment. Sue Hayden
has helped start this and will contract with Lutz Auction Services for Oct 26 at 10 AM on County Farm Road. They
get 10% of proceeds. This is cheaper than previous auctioneer. Auditor’s office
will monitor the receipt of sale funds. Approved
by Commissioners.

Jail Project- change
order process- 2 small items- all within the contingency. Additional$1550 to security automation systems for an
additional access reader for construction crews. This monitors who goes into
jail area and the tools. Commissioners approved this first change order.The second change order is to deduct $11,000
savings on a hood for the kitchen. She will find that form later. At end of
meeting she did and Commissioners approved this.

Randall said: The new
business that is coming to West Harrison TIF. These resolutions were just
passed out. These are for your stamps of approval of actions other boards took.
Commissioners approved the amendment to the TIF for the Whitewater Mill
Allocation Area to reset the TIF clock as approved by Redevelopment and Plan
Commission recommendations.If we ever
have another one of these - and I hope we have lots of these- this will be a
boiler plate for them. Commissioners
signed this resolution.

We are working on
having the Economic Development Commission to have a claw-back to get money
back from the company’s that get funds if they don’t live up to their agreement.
Commissioners don’t have to sign off on EDA (Economic Development Agreement) if
it was not as discussed. Commissioners signed the resolution. Baudendistel read
the resolution first.

Randall wanted the
Commissioners to appoint someone to the Economic Development Commission.
Council already appointed their rep. She said it should not be one of the
Commissioners. They will give some
thought to that.

Baudendistel reminded Randall that any police cruisers will
have to be repainted if bought at auction.

Lynch thanked Randall
for all the time and effort she has put into this Redevelopment work. McHenry
concurred.

AUDITOR: Gayle
Pennington - Dearborn County Grant
Application Procedures- has been working on with Baudendistel. Once they adopt
and council adopts, they will all be following the same procedure. State audits
have to do the federal audits as they go. Baudendistel said that this will be
good to get all on the same page. Commissioners approved this. This will
centralize the grants so that no conflicts occur.

Claims approved.

Bright Fire and EMS
want to send Ricky Plowman to get certification at IVY Tech starting Thursday.
McHenry signed off on this. Approved up to $250.

August 13 joint revenue with council meeting with no
decisions made- signed off.

Sept 3rd minutes approved and signed.

Minutes of Sept 16th meeting approved and signed.

By Federal Law- have
to notify each employee of health law marketplaces. Commissioners signed off on
this.

ATTORNEY: Andy
Baudendistel

1.Ordinance - Building Permit Fees and
Establish Online Perpetuation Fund – Pennington spoke with Shelton. This
will raise fees $5. They want to keep this service going without having to ask
for additional funds from Council. Council has to also approve this. They will
get this to Council Sept 30th. Wade Kimmon GIS is eager to get
moving on this. It will be advertised for 30 days also to become effective.
Commissioners passed.

2.Schneider Contract for Online Permitting
Software- this is the company that will do the permitting, Tabled until Council
approves.

3.Ordinance - Convention, Visitors and
Tourism Commission- this is housecleaning ordinance amending the old one. He
said it was a 7 member board and the criteria for each member to be appointed.
Commissioners appoint 4 members to this. L-bg has one and Greendale has one and
council has one. Terms are staggered and politically balanced. They are subject to open door laws etc. If the
current makeup of the board does not meet this the current president has to
notify administrator and they will start fresh in 2014. McHenry said that Dave Lorey
is president and they are not in compliance he said. The new statute requires
they fix this. Current board has 9 but only 8 show up. Andrea Ewan has been
working on their by-laws too. Commissioners
adopted the ordinance.

4.Lease Agreements w/HVL- Sue Hayden
caught that 3 vehicles were leased to HVL and these are renewed from July 3
2013- 2014. Commissioners signed off,
HVL and sheriff will then sign off. McHenry was advised that he did not have a
conflict of interest in signing off on this by Baudendistel. Each was signed by
VIN number read into the record.

There ia a piece
of property called Hog Back in Center township per trustee Nancy Fahey
Turner that Kraus, Jr will discuss to see if county takes it back.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS-
Lynch – we need a tickler to have us review these ordinances and boards to
be sure we are in compliance with state law. Pennington sends them to American
Publishing every year to review. Animal Control ordinance might also need
review per Baudendistel. Pennington put ordinances online so that all
depts. could review them.

LATE ARRIVAL
INFORMATION- none

PUBLIC COMMENT- Phil
Darling- informed commissioners of former
Commissioner Red Hoffmeier had passed away and heard funeral was on Thursday.
Shane McHenry observed a moment of silence for Hoffmeier.

Lynch- today we
celebrated the anniversary of our constitution. 226 years later it is still
serving us well. He re-read it over the weekend.

Dennis Kraus Sr said it was pretty rude that they were
emailed at 10 till 4 and expect them to decide on this without time to review.
Would someone like to explain this?!

Terri Randall said that they have been competing for this
Milling Company with Carlisle Ohio. They do not have anyone who does
redevelopment on a daily basis. They are making a $44 million investment.
Committed to us now. Instead of cash
incentives- allow them to borrow money at their own risk and pay for it with
their own tax incentives from the TIF. Apologize- my day job is something else-
but I tried to get things together from the legal expert . Ask your indulgence…

Randall went on: Economic development Commission regulations
by state statute. Thought this company should have some skin in the game. Our
local towns have done this- like Greendale. This is our first time.If you allow a company to borrow money you
have to have a legal process. Economic Development Commission is simply a 3-
person Board. If you wanted to bond out in the future you would need this
board. This is a mechanism to do that. Because of the time frame we are working
under. One member nominated by Council one by Commissioners and one by
Lawrenceburg, Then the Commissioners formally make the appointment of these 3
people. Andy Baudendistel had nothing to add. He said Tom Pittman from Barnes and Thornberg
worked with Terri on this. He has no problem with this. Apologize that he
hasn’t been as hands on as he was out for a few weeks due to the birth of a
child.

Lyness said- $44 million project- but this bonding is for $2.5
million. Terri- 20 million in equipment. Another 20 million to get land out of
flood plain etc. Grant helped buy the land. Kraus – cost of land – ½ million?
No it was $600,000- half L-bg and half us. Now there is another piece that the
Redev is considering buying of the Stone property also. Randall – my goal was
to protect the county. We got experts and actuaries looking at this when they
actually go to a bank. It’s up to $2.5 million they can borrow against the
bond. They had to go into a really detailed process just to get L-bg company.
They are a stable long term company. If you don’t bring the jobs or if you
don’t live up to commitments- they owe us money back. The redev won’t see a lot
of tax revenue from this particular project- but another company that has
merged with them and their taxes will be considered as part of this for funds
to go back to redevelopment. This allows farmers to cycle wheat into their crop
rotation here.

This will be the whole county’s economic development
commission. How long does board stay in place? Commish 3 years, council 2, L-bg
1 year terms. Keyes doesn’t want to make the appointment tonight. Option to
keep things moving- per Randall is to have another meeting. Lansing said it’s a
necessary step. He sits on Greendale’s EconomicDevelopment Board but hasn’t had to decide anything yet.

Morris- said- we could agree to adopt the ordinance and then
later have Kraus, Sr. and Barrett could give the name to Commissioners.

Morris moved to adopt ordinance as presented 2nded by
Ullrich for the Dearborn County Economic DevelopmentCommission.Passed.

Morris moved that in 5 days Kraus and Barrett could give a
name to Commissioners for their rep. Ullrich 2nded. Passed. Council’s
appointment is a 2 year appointment.

Decided to withdraw this as they cannot do this- will
violate open door law!!!!

President

Dearborn County
Redevelopment Commission

[TO BE PUBLISHED ONE
TIME IN EACH OF THE DEARBORN COUNTY REGISTER AND JOURNAL PRESS ON SEPTEMBER 17
AND 19, 2013.]

Dearborn County Commissioners met to approve the Resolution
13-02 that was just approved by the Plan Commission.

Terri Randall- said the only issue is to consider whether or
not you want to adopt the resolution that was approved by the Redevelopment
Commission and then the plan Commission.

Baudendistel has not reviewed this but Randall has been
working with Pittman on this and he has full faith in what they have done.

Lynch motioned to adopt this resolution regarding the
Whitewater Development area in the west Harrison TIF. Little seconded.
Approved.

Randall said she has an aggressive timeline on this. The
Redevelopment is allowing them to borrow against their future tax payments.
That is why there are bonds involved. They will be asking Council to get an
economic Development Commission in order to do this. Commission has to seat the
board- Council has a nomination and so does Lawrenceburg as the largest city in
the county. They think that it would be better to not have an elected official
on this board- maybe a citizen that has been on these boards.

Mark McCormack gave the overview of the request to approve
the amendment to the TIF area in West Harrison, the maps of the current TIF and
the proposed TIF area, and the resolution for the proposed redevelopment area.
The proposed term is for 25 years. The original TIF was for 30 years. The
actual difference then is about 2 years now.

Kevin Lynch represented the Dearborn County Redevelopment
commission. He thanked the board for facilitating their request to get this
special meeting. The request is to reTIF the existing TIF district to start the
clock over. There is no change to the TIF area or the zoning.

Tom Pittman from Barnes and Thornberg presented – and
complimented McCormack on his presentation of the request and the laws covering
it. The legislature changed the law requiring that you go through all the board
to redo this now. This is for economic development and redevelopment in the
county.

$40+ million investment from this applicant and they want to
use this process to avoid raising any taxes etc to get the incentives.The company is in a hurry to break ground to
get construction this fall. Some of this land has generated no money as nothing
has happened on it yet. The law allows them to eliminate the lost time by
restarting the clock on this. There is no extension of the TIF district- just
the timing by two years. Your plan is not currently broadly enough written to
allow this as written in his opinion and thus they want to add the reset of the
base to this resolution. Is this consistent with the sort of activity you want
to see in this area. From here it goes to the County Commissioners. Public
notice anda public hearing is then held
by the redevelopment commission.

Terri Randall- wanted to add one more things. This project
involves one parcel and there are others which will be added in support of it
including one that

$1.4 million investment in sewer out there by Council. They
are about to sign economic development agreement and they are bringing more
with them. This will help wean us off Riverboat Revenue.

$1.4 million grant from L-bg for this also. County will bond
out and use it against this TIF money. It is a complicated process. We are in a
hurry because this company is ready. If winter happens then it slows them down.
We want them here to really kick-start economic development.

Ken Nelson asked if they are approving this resolution from
the redevelopment commission.

$2,100,000 is how much they think can be generated in a TIF
incentivein the initial period of time
of about 15 years per Pittman,

Commissioner McHenry arrived at this point.

Hall asked what the $2.1 million goes for. Pittman- the
company could use it for capital improvements which they own. The incentive is
only generated to the extent that they pay tax so it is self-policing. If they
move away – that would go away. Hall said- but these only get used in THAT
area- no other part of the county. Pittman- yes that is correct.

Kevin Lynch said that Greendale did this with a fire truck
that served the TIF district as well. So you can use it outside the TIF are if
the services are provided to the TIF area.

Hall asked about the dirt moving in flood plain. Kraus, Jr.
said that it was here two weeks ago- but that the grading plan was approved
this morning. Rule 5 for Soil and Water has to be considered also per McCormack. [NOTE: Anyone worried about filling in the
flood plain down there?]

Hall said that we should have known something about this
before now- to better review it. We need to be a little more involved in these
plans before they just appear. We would like a little more time. If this were a
private citizen we wouldn’t be doing it this way. There are roads that are
needing modifications to get this done. Those heavy trucks will need
improvement on the road base. I don’t want to be the bad guy- we need to be
more in the loop. Nelson concurred. How do we know the $2.1 million will get
the job done? Pittman said he takes some of the blame for the timing, He was
called in a couple weeks ago- they did not know all these approvals were even
necessary. And I had to dump that bad news on Terri’s head.

Lynch said that we are competing with a city over in Ohio
and that is why we didn’t talk about it. We trust you (Hall) and this board.
They were concerned that if it did get out we could lose the deal. We will
endeavor to do better on the next one.

Tech review approved the grading plans this morning. We had
to look into silos with height issues, but they were basically exempted because
of what they were.

Mark Lehman- trying to figure out the downside- nothing is
ever this rosy. Pittman- once these TIFs get goping people really like it. This
becomes a critical incentive. It’s not as if anyone is losing- those taxes
wouldn’t have come in if they hadn’t come in anyway. Stiff competition to attract
development.

Art Little- we are just extending the TIF 2 more years on
only this portion of the TIF. One runs out in 20136, this one will run out in
2038.

Beiersdorfer moved to
approve resolution 13-02. Little seconded it.

Discussion- Kraus asked- what if someone else wants this?
Lynch said that if it makes sense, we do have the option to do this. Hoog asked
what the benefit this has for citizens of the county? Lynch said that 55% of
their grain is from locals in other areas they have. This would be a boon to
our farm community. There is also additional income tax revenue per Pittman and
the probability of that second company. The additional company will be on this
parcel per Randall. This Redevelopment Commission had to work on this – the
others were not working fast enough. They are moving as quickly as they can to
get some master planning in that corridor. Calls are coming in all the time for
this. Behind the scenes the company has been doing their own engineering.
Without Lawrenceburg’s grant for $1.4million this would have gone to Ohio.

Plan Commission
unanimously approved this resolution.

Mark McCormack said that the regular PC Meeting was
rescheduled to Sept 30th from the 23rd.

Friday, September 13, 2013

WEST HARRISON TIF DISTRICT has a new business coming in. The Dearborn County Redevelopment Commission has set up three special meetings. Dearborn County Plan Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, in the Dearborn County Administration Building commissioner’s room, followed by Dearborn County commissioners at 7:30 p.m. Monday Sept 16 to discuss and review a proposed amendment to the resolution / plan associated with the West Harrison Tax Increment Finance District presented by the Redevelopment Commission. Dearborn County Council will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, in the Commissioner Room to discuss creating an Economic Development Commission.

Susan Craig and Mary McCarty from SEIRPC- gave out a sheet
on their organization- economic and community development for 9 counties. She
outlined their projects they have helped within our county. Brownfield
Coalition grant- $600,000 from EPA. Inviting all member counties to be part of
the coalition. Then you can have a place at the table to determine what they do
with the money. They found out that they are on a learning curve about this
process as are most agencies. Phase 1 assessment is historical assessment and
archeology research. Phase 2 is doing soil testing etc. Brownfields are
contaminated or are PERCEIVED as contaminated. No match required for this- but
in-kind contributions make a favorable impression to get the grant. It can be
things like getting training or putting info on them on the website etc. They
want the letters to state what the county brings to the table. It is due in
early December, 2013.

Rahe said that brownfields are in city areas and we have no
jurisdiction on their brownfields. Randall suggested they get with those areas
redevelopment commissions. They have done some of that already.

Susan Craig said that they need county people on this
coalition and wanting the county as the main coalition member. EPA likes to
fund a coalition rather than individual entities. They think they get more bang
for their buck. Lynch said it is an opportunity for the county to take the lead
on brownfields. He reminded them that Abdon and others at the Plan Commission
joint meeting suggested this.

The committee would not be formally put together unless they
get the funding. Lynch said that the redevelopment commission could make a
recommendation to commissioners to participate in this. They will do this
before end of the month.

Randy Maxwell went out to talk with them a bit and left.

Randall said they need to get an agreement and contract with
DCEDI. Mark Neff said the chamber is paying him.Randall discussed with Ewan and tabled till
next meeting.

Terri Randall-
Administrator’s report:

FTC&H Floodway Study agreement. – she met with
consultant, Dennis Kraus, Jr.( Surveyor), Wade Kimmon ( GIS), and Mark
McCormack. Good meeting she said. They agreed that this would be valuable to
have done because it is what the county needs to have done anyway. She
recommends that they waste no time in contracting with them for $8,600. It will
get flood plain areas delineated. Randall said she made notes on the actual
addendum for Andrea Ewan. Andrea wanted them to wait for the special meeting to
sign this- so she can review. Lynch said that he heard the name of the firm and
wants to check with Conservancy district to see if they have used them before.
They will check with Debbie Biddle.

Attorney Andrea Ewan contract was revised to be favorable to
the Redevelopment Commission. Jan 2012- she started and wasn’t charging. Now
they are much busier and she is requesting payment. $150 per hour is her fee.
Retainer is $1000. It is retroactive to May 1st. Retainer would
start Jan, 2014. Either can terminate for 30 days notice for any reason. They
also have legal fees with Barnes and Thornberg. Redevelopment Commission agreed
to enter into that contract.

Project Millings and Project Flourish update- Millings as
selected our site as their new home. They turned down Carlisle OH. $1.4 million
approved for $700,000 across 2 years. Barnes and Thornberg firm is working on
the legals. They have engaged Bayer Becker already to start Oct 1st
to start building. Incentives – we provided the land and they need the grant
money to bring it out of the floodplain. They are expediting all this to get
TIF clock reset so their tax revenue for the next 25 years can be reinvested in
the development. There will be bonding on this. They are reTIFing. County
Council meets at 5 PM Tues. followed by Commissioners at 5:30 PM. This will
establish Economic Development Commission and nominate a member to that
Commission. They requested a Special Plan Commission meeting this Monday at 7
and Commissioners at 7:30.She wants to
get all the legals and notifications done right.

The Millings Project is a firm named Whitewater Mill LLC with
a $44 mil investment in a computerized millings operation with 35 jobs. Grain
storage. It will generate more rail traffic. Illinois and KY locations also for
this company. The joint entity is coming later with flour etc. That will have
more jobs.

Andrea Ewan has a resolution to reTIF it for Whitewater Mill
Allocation area. It allows them to bond in that district and reset the TIF for
25 years. This is resolution #13-002. The Redevelopment Commission adopted
this. This is very very complicated per Rahe- The public has no idea how complicated
these things are.

Previous employee Paul Kunkel had conversations with the Gennesee
and Wyoming Railroad and committed to certain things per Randall. She said this
agreement should be with Whitewater Mill LLC. Whitewater Mill was concerned
that we haven’t done this. Randall said we could sign it- but then have another
agreement with Whitewater to assign it to them when they get their dirt moved.
Ewan agreed they need t9o make it assignable to Whitewater Mills. They will
work on this.

Randall said Barnes and Thornberg have been doing some work
on this project. They are finance and bond counsel. They advocate for our
interests. They prepare timelines and key resolutions, closings etc. Tax issues
etc. They want to be paid hourly and pay varies using junior attorneys whenever
possible. If she ever has a problem with their fees – she says they are in line
with other’s fees for such services. The attorney could review this as there
are no fees listed. They NEED to have a schedule of possible fees per Ewan.
Ewan will review. Kevin Lynch said Tom Pittman’s fees are reasonable and he is
top-notch. Also responsive.

Claims for payment:

Stone property $385 for professional services- research on
the land and work with Millings on our behalf for Bayer Becker.- This is not
the Stone Property per Ewan- it I s the Millings piece. Just reference
Hirlinger property instead.

negotiate property deal- 4 months of billing. There are things not on this
bill- free.

$413.75- London Witte for TIF.

Meeting with Barnes and Thornberg and other community
leadersin January - $104.98 for a meal.

Approved all claims.

Zimmer Tractor-
Commission invested dollars into the turn lane into the facility. Rohe
contractor. Land Consultants drew plan. A line that was yellow needed to be
white. Rohe was redeployed, $375 additional had to be paid. Our highway dept
was not involved with this. She met with Zimmer and agreed in principle. Todd
made phone calls to Rohe and held him accountable. She thought we could have gotten
better deal. $3750 – should have been $2500 or so, she and Todd Listerman
thought. Lynch thought Redev pay 1/3, EDI pay a 1/3 and Zimmer pay 1/3. They
used TIF money to help them. And a grant from city of Lawrenceburg. Kunkel
committed this. And was acting on behalf of EDI. Mark Neff said he can ask EDI
if they will do this. This was during the transition time when Rozow and Kunkel
were let go. Redevelopment Commission decided to pay 1/3 for this $1275- is
that amount.

Budget hearing for
2014 was represented by John Rahe and Terri Randall. She said it went well.
He said he has hearing loss and couldn’t hear Denny Kraus.

Council did not approve additional $25,000 they requested.
They hope CVTB will fund the $50,000. She said they are operating on a very lean
budget. Rahe said the $500,000 or so was not county money- it was from
Lawrenceburg grants and private donations.

Sept 30 special meeting- public hearing 4:30 PM- or maybe 4
pm if no executive session. Ewan won’t be available for that.

Attorney’s report was Amendment to W Harrison TIF discussed
earlier for special meetings.
